| John G. from PORTLAND, OR |
| This jacket is very nice and it serves it's purpose well. Nice pockets for everything you need to keep close and safe while riding. Warm enough in very cold weather yet open the vents and you stay cool even in warm weather. I love this jacket! |

| My review of the jacket:
Looks and feels good. It has some slight resistance in arm movement around the front of the arm pits due to arm and chest pads touching when bringing my arms forward its easily manageable. Rode last night to test the "vents". I opened them up and it wasn't too bad. I was hoping for a little better. I could feel a slight breeze on my back when leaning forward to separate my back from the jacket. I took the winter lining out of it and it seems the hottest spots were where the thick armor was. The hottest parts were my arms around my elbows when stopping. Woke up this morning and it was pouring rain so I figured what an awesome time to test the wet weather, especially since we have been in a drought with 104 average temps. Zipped up and headed out to work. Jacket felt good and snug and didn't let a drop of water in so it handled excellent in the wet conditions.
All in all Its a great jacket and I had alot of compliments on the look of it.
My review in the first 2 days is the following:
1-10 scale
Looks: 10 (its one of the nicer looking jackets I have seen in a long time)
Ventilation: 6 (I was expecting a little better but it isn't bad)
Armor: 10 (The jacket seems to have covered all basis in its design with its armor. any more would be too bulky. Any less would be unsafe)
Visibility: 1 (I would have made the grey on the sleeves reflective if I had my way with it. Not the most visible jacket on the road)
Hot Days: 5 ( could use better vents. The sleeves do come off if your feeling froggy)
Cold Days: 10 (With the liner in this jacket can be very warm)
Rainy Days: 10 (Water Proof and held up great with the rain)
Movement: 8 (Some slight resistance with the arms rubbing on chest pads)
Satisfactory 9 (I am very happy with this jacket) |

| John C. from West Henrietta, NY |
| love it. I wear a 46 suit coat anf ordered the xl. Fits just right. almost form fitting but not tight. A xxl may have been better but I think this is just right. It is comfortable and not stiff. Lots of pockets inside and out. You'd definately need a xxl if you want to use all the pockets. A '9' all day long. |

| Bryce S. from AUBURN, CA |
| Really like the jacket. LOTS of padding and armor. The vents work well, not as well as a cortech but do work well regardless. I ordered a size up so I could wear layers underneath if need be. Waist is adjustable via velcro so its not like a fat suit if I just wear a t-shirt under. The Zip out liner is kind of a joke. I doubt it adds any kind of warmth as it is almost as thin as a t-shirt. Took it out and left it out. If I want more warmth I will throw on a sweatshirt/hoodie. Wish there was a matching set of pants (level 3 armor with zip off legs and zippered kidney belt). Cant seem to find a pair with all three of those features. Overall a 4 star jacket, Price-to-feature ration would be 10 out of 5 stars as nothing comes close to this under $300. |

| Just received my jacket 1 day after Leatherup.com shipped! I wear a 44 jacket and ordered the XL though the sleeves are just a bit long, when you place yourself in a riding position it fits like a glove. This jacket has amazing amount of protection yet really comfortable to wear unlike many others with similar padding. I recommend this jacket and purchasing all your riding gear from Leatherup.com due to the fact their items are top notch and the prices are simply unmatchable. |

| Cori C. from ARNOLD, CA |
| Bought this jacket as a gift for my son-I was very impressed by his choice of this jacket for its safety features as well as visual appeal but, when I saw how low the prices are on LeatherUp.com website I have to admit that I was concerned that quality might be sacrificed in order to be able to sell at such a discount. Once I received the jacket and really examined it I can honestly state that I was wrong - the quality and craftsmanship of this garment is evident and the prices truly are THAT good! Thanks so much! |

| Great Jacket, fits well and is stylish and modern. The only hang-up I have is that the neck cover is a little too stiff and sort of scratches my neck unless I'm wearing a longer shirt, and the wind guard behind the zipper keeps getting stuck in the zipper. All in all though, Great Buy and I'd recommend it. |

| I just recieved my jacket today and I tested it out. I absolutely love it. Plenty of pockets, plenty of room. I could have gotten the XL but I got the XXL. It's alittle bigger for extra clothing. I would definetly recommend this jacket. Thanks Leather Up. |

| The jacket fits perfectly and my shirt sleeve is a size 36. It cuts the wind and the removable lining keeps me warm. The pockets are very accomadating for all my nick-nacks. |

| Sharon W. from Detroit, MI |
| I love this jacket! Bought it for my fiance' because he only had the mesh type and he would get soaked when it rained. After getting the size right (bought extra large and he needed a large) it fits perfectly. He says it kept him warm in a 55 degree ride in MI. Haven't tried it with the sleeves off yet, waiting till next season! This jacket runs true to size. If you wear a 40-42 jacket, get the large. I like the way it hugs the body, very sexy! Not too tight though. Hope this helps! Oh and I got it in two days!! I LOVE LEATHERUP! |

| I got this jacket a few months back, it has a great feel. Fortunately I was wearing it when I went down at about 40 MPH and had no injuries besides the bruise on my butt, the jacket didn't even get a hole in it and saved the skin on my arms and back. Great Jacket!! |

| I got this on size M since i'm tall but skinny, it's little loose but i can't complain since i'm going to be riding in winter therefore i'll wear more layers underneath, material is great, no complains so far.
You won't be disappointed if you get this jacket. |

| Brian M. from Greenfield, CA |
| Over all I like the jacket. The collar is a little scratchy on the neck but otherwise it is very comfortable. I've had a lot of positive comments from others and the price was right. The weird thing was that the net pocket for the right elbow guard was sewn in at the crook of the arm rather than around where the elbow would be. I considered that minor though since I pulled out the elbow guards anyway. I prefer wearing strap on guards on my elbows so that I know they'll be where I need them, when I need them. I'm 6'2" tall 175 lbs with long arms and legs so the XL was a good fit. The liner is really warm, I had to shuck that thing until winter comes on, but without it, the jacket is comfortable in the indian summer we're having here in Central California. |

| Ryan H. from COLORADO SPRINGS, CO |
| Outstanding jacket. Unfortunately I bought an XL because I need the sleeve length, therefore it is a bit bulky in my chest area. I am 6'3 180lbs, and I have it sinched pretty tight on the sides. The upside is though, for cold weather; I can let it out to fit over a sweatshirt or hoodie. Construction is decent, havent gotten rained on yet, but I would bet it would keep out a light to moderate rain. You would probably get somewhat wet in a downpour. If this would have came with the 3rd inner lining (full sleeved waterproof) I would have paid even more for it. I purchased this jacket over the other 3 based on its looks primarily. Sleeves come on and off with relative ease. It is loaded with pockets. Two pockets inside the inner liner, and then an inside pocket and 7 pockets on the front of this not including the vents.
Zippers could have been beefed up a bit, one of the zipper handles broke off just from flapping in the wind while riding. Overall nice quality and a decent jacket for the price. |

This is a very good jacket with protection built in for both winter and summer. Protection from road burn, cold, rain, etc. with removable quilted inner vest, all over padding, zip off sleeves, and plenty of CE Certified Armor to make me feel road safe and protected. This is a real versatile jacket, kind of like a three in one garment. Add the water proof feature to it and it is a total winner. I have no doubt about winter warmth or it keeping me dry. True to size, fit right out of the box perfectly. It is real good for cruising and I believe for long road trips too. I will find out soon. I don't feel like I am wearing a ton of lead on my back. This is also a good looking jacket too. In one day, already got compliments on it and wanting to know where I got it. I am 100% happy with this product and as usual, LeatherUp delivered as promised. I have never been disappointed in ordering from then for at least -3- maybe -4- years. Thumbs up on this one!! |

| Enoch H. from Apple Valley, CA |
| Excellent jacket, I've only worn it twice since i got it and i've already had a dude ask me to sell it to him. I like the sleeve-less look and being a former Marine, i feels like a flak jacket. Besides my arms being exposed, i feel safe in this jacket. Wish it had more vents (only 2 on top of chest and 2 on shoulder blades) so maybe i'll modify it a bit. The velcro on the neck is a lil rough if it catches you in the wrong way. Its a great buy!! Not really ideal for long cold rides, the sleeves have very small openings left after you attach the arms. I'm 5 foot 7, 175 pounds and the medium fit like a glove. Thanks ya'll. |

| Louis Weisberg from Milwaukee, WI |
| I bought this as a gift and was very pleased! It's a great look (sort of Terminator style) and extremely functional, with tons of pockets, vents, and lots of body armor. The zip-out options make it very versatile as well. I saw a comparable jacket for sale at a re-sale shop that didn't have nearly as many features and was twice the price second-hand. Highly recommended. |

| Scott M. from La Crosse, WI |
| Great looking and comfortable jacket. I'm 6' tall and about 190lbs and have slightly longer arms, and the arm length on the large is great even when tucked down on a superbike. Removable sleeves are great. I initially ordered an XL and had to exchange it for a large. Exchange went very smooth. Lower back kidney belt is just a zipper, not a belt. There are 2 lower Velcro(hook & loop) adjustments on each side (maybe that's what they mean by a kidney belt). Lots of pockets. Really good value for the money. Will definitely do future business with. Thanks. |

| This jacket is fantastic... plenty of pockets - armor is good quality and stitching seems durable. I was given the chance to buy a new condition black leather Harley jacket for $100 or this jacket and my wife liked the features and look of this better. Features of making the jacket sleeveless is a nice touch - and airflow is typical. The fit was my greatest concern as I read through the other reviews - I am 6'2" tall and 265 pounds - while I am not entirely muscle - I am not all fat either - I have a bit of a gut... but I hold myself well and don't in bad shape. I would typically buy a 2XL size so I have the right length in the arms and usually this makes a jacket feel comfortable around the midsection when I zip it up. I was nervous about buying a 3XL but I am VERY glad I did. It fits me perfectly - not baggy, but enough room to wear a sweatshirt if desired on a bit colder day. The jacket makes me feel "bulletproof" :) |

| Really liked the jacket overall. Lots of pockets, armor in the right places, price is excellent. Sized way small. I usually wear an XL or XXL, ordered the 3XL based on reading the reviews and it was still really small both in the chest and arms and around the middle. Ended up returning the jacket. Also, nothing reflective on the jacket. |

| Great jacket! A little tight due to the armor so you might want to go up a size. I found it a bit tight in the upper arm area so if you got big pipes this is not the jacket for you. Lots of pockets. You won't be disappointed with this jacket! |

| Ordered the next size up & it fits great. Wore it on a 3 hour ride in 65 degree weather, without the liner...not too hot... not too cool. The velcro neck-closure was a little irritating, but i'm sure it'll be fine as it breaks in. Great product..great price ! |

| good jacket for the price. be careful of using a backpack with this jacket as it will cover up the back vent and overheat you.
zippers are kinda crappy. one pull keeps falling off |

| Great jacket, especially for the low price of $79.99 it is a 'must have'!
Leatherup just got another follower. Now the sizing of this jacket is slightly on the small side but not too bad. I got a size 2XL and it fits great with or with the vest style zip-out liner, not snug not baggy.
My arms and neck is 17.5", chest 48", waist is 36" (wear size 38 jeans). I have slightly long arms so double XL was the right choice.
I am 6'2" and about 230lbs, no 6-pack but not much of a gut either.
I hope the detailed info helps other buyers. |

| This is a nice jacket. I think it is a little warm for summer, but you can take out the liner and remove the sleeves. This particular jacket runs very small. I am 5'7" 220lbs(short & fat) and I got the 3xl...perfect snug fit. I wish the back had armor, but it is just foam padding. The elbows have really nice thick armor. I will say the liner zipper could be better. I noticed it started to separate the other day.
This jacket would cost around 300 in the local stores here in the bay area. I am happy |
